Back in August, the California Fish and Game commission discussed a highly anticipated and community-supported petition to have the western Joshua tree placed on the state endangered species list. After hours of discussion, the topic was tabled until a special meeting in September to give the commission time to perform extensively review the petition. Reporter Andrew Dieleman says that special meeting has been scheduled for tomorrow morning…
During a special meeting Tomorrow morning, September 22, the California Fish and Game commission will make their final decision on whether the Western Joshua Tree will receive “threatened” or “endangered” species status through the California Endangered Species Act. If the status is approved, the commission will then discuss which development projects, if any, will receive exemptions from the law’s protection. The virtual meeting will begin at 8:30 a.m. Instructions on how to attend the meeting are available in the pdf document.
